I'm wondering if there is a way to get kaudiocreator to use cdparanoia or another paranoia engine.

I've been using kaudiocdcreator for a while and it is the only ripper front end that is good enough at file manipulation and configurable enough for my needs, but it is really let down by the quality of it's ripping. Even only slightly damaged cds that play fine on anything else, and which cdparanoia makes short work of, make kaudiocreator useless.

Anyone got any ideas?

Cheers, I'll have a go at that, I'll try to post here if I have success.

It's a pity that it doesn't offer the same level of configurability that it does for things like the encoder, where you can specify standard command line options.

Using the solution you suggested, all CD playing under KDE will use the same level of paranoia as ripping under kaudiocreator, perhaps not the best arrangement. We'll see.
